You can use the pro mode to shoot decent night sky photos.
You just need a tripod or anything to keep your phone steady. Set ISO to 100-400 and time to 8-32.
If you want Google's astrophotography, you need a GCam mod based on GCam 7.3. Legion or burial have some decent options. You can find them here:

Try ones made by wyroczen and percifhm.
There's also a thread here about wyroczen's mod, you can ask questions about it there.

Is this resolution set to 12mp? Or 9?

Remove "http://www." from the link (like dropbox.com instead of http://www.dropbox.com). If it also doesn't help, replace "." with "[dot]" (like dropbox[dot]com instead of dropbox.com). That way you can post a link.
It is simple limitation for new users on XDA. You can ask moderators (by reporting your own OP) by asking them to remove limitations for you to share links to be useful for users. If you use it badly (spamming and/or breaking any rule) you will get penalized.
There are some mods with autofocus working, but HDR doesnt work on them. An example, bsg_test_8.1, and if you try any configureable mod, setting as hdr model 'pixel HW YUV' and image output 'YUV' fixes autofocus but breaks HDR (some apks dont take the pic at all, some others take green pics like whatsapp cam, with no hdr processing. It seems like HDR is breaking focus.
The real problem is finding one with both, autofocus AND hdr working... But im losing all hope.
I haven't lost all hope just because new Xiaomi phones have the same problem. If someone fix the problem for the new models (like note 7) I think we might have a chance here.

stop give false illusions, it seems that autofocus issue is a kernel related bug, this app does the same as the others

Picture Quality / Help in choosing a ROM

Hi, I was on the official build (MIUI) of Note 5 pro, however the pictures seemed like they were oil paintings, and did not look good at all, so I decided to install a custom ROM, hoping it'd help solve this issue, since the picture seemed to be using the beauty mode, even though I turned it off. I installed the pixel experience ROM, however the picture quality still is pretty bad, I was wondering if there is any custom ROM which would help solve this problem and give a good picture which doesn't look like an oil painting, lol.
Thanks in advance.

Add these into the /system/build.prop and into /vendor/build.prop
reboot, and install Gcam by arnova from this site:

Most of the times when you install a gcam port you have to make some changes at the settings of the app. I don't know if this is the case for this port also. But I guess this must be it. @sivansk could elaborate...
Why do you use Gcam when the Stock is amazing and have all that features and works without any problems..

There is no proper gcam development for mediatek chipset ,since it is a flagship chip we can expect it in future updates! And I will reply it with a better gcam with fully functional!

Question Camera performance on custom ROM with GCam

Anyone using GCam in any of the custom ROMs currently available? How good are the results? Are they providing better outputs than in the MIUI?? If so, please mention the ROM & GCam version.
Much better than the original, I used it global and xiaomi.eu.

That's so strange asking for this, because it is so simple to test it at your ease.
This is a simple APk to be installed and removed simply if you don't like. it is NOT any deep system modification that can raise questions...
Gcam is a must on my phone.Installed the first day for testing.

That's not the case! I don’t own the device yet. But if I get positive feedback about this aspect that might change pretty soon. Normally you get better result with GCam on top of custom ROMs. But that may vary. That's why I wanted to be sure before buying & not regret afterwards.

Thank you so much for your kind feedback.
Two issues I found were:
1. The slow motion isnt working with the latest MGC GCam
2. Images on the front cam are only 4-5 megapixels (20mp on stock)
Everything else is great though. The main cam has more detail in GCam than stock

The stock cam has a tendency to darken the shadows & to some extent leaves too. Does it happen on GCam too??

Really much better ? Because I gotta say stock cam on MIUI (xiaomi.eu) has many differents options that seems interesting and quite nicely done! (short movies, vlog, etc).

The image quality is better. But I agree with you on the options part. Lot of customization in stock cam.

Hi,
thanks for the report.
I have installed MGC but can't find the macro option.
What am I doing wrong?

Not really sure what you mean but if you select 1.9 on the camera that uses the macro lens 1.0 standard .06 wide

General default camera so much better then Gcam my review

ok let me start custom roms blow stock out of the water but the only thing that made me go back to stock was the camera app , in my opinion gcam struggles to focus I do consider myself a a photography pro , that being said , i love the performance of the customs roms overstock , hands down, but the default camera is the deal breaker in my opinion, g-cam struggles to focus , especially in macro mode , I do hope some one port the ANX camera to a custom rom ... just my 2 cents and I tried them all Gcam / configs so save your breath...
I agree, the stock cam is just better, more convenient and faster imo. Luckily for me I dont care much about photos.
Sorry I got that wrong.

It's true, thanks to a user of this forum that I don't remember the name I was able to use the Gcam for normal and night photos but the macros are still a problem.
Another thing that is making me think about going back to Stock ROM is that there is no support and continuity of updates.
I really love the stock camera too. But for Macros or really close photos it can't focus could you give me a tip, to improve it.
Does any custom rom support the stock camera app?

First couple of times opening camera gives error, but not to worry, try again.

Hi,
right after taking the picture the app closes, the picture is saved but every time I have to reopen the app. If I take a photo in night mode the app closes and the photo is not saved.
I also have Gcam installed can there be a conflict?

Can't tell.
Maybe it depends also on custom rom, what is installed.
I'm on Syberia OS. Night mode is working ok.
